Music Video NOT Teen Spirit


In about 1997/1998 I saw a music video on MTV that was a remake of Over the Edge, it was NOT Smells Like Teen Spirit. It looked exactly like the movie. Does anyone know who the band was/ what song it was? I think it was an alternative rock band.

Listen to Jesus Jimmy-

I think your talking about the Smashing Pumpkin's video "1979"

Not 1979, although that does have the same feel. This video was exactly like the movie. The actors looked the same, they were on a playground, and I think they mess up the school. Late 90's alternative rock.

I think it was Fu Manchu

Is that the name of the band or the song?

I've always wondered if the video for "1979" was intentionally meant to remind me of Over The Edge. It definitely does, but has Billy Corgan ever said anything about it ?

reply

Supposedly the original video script of 1979 involved the teenagers trashing the convenient store. Which really makes me wonder if it was meant to be a nod to Over the Edge.

The video for "Evil Eye" by Fu Manchu looks like it was inspired by "Over The Edge". Please click on
